1Password for iPad will be free upgrade from iPhone version

I agree with some of the other posters - change the title of this article. It's misleading and only serves to confuse customers.

Kleinias,

Unfortunately, the headline implies that if you own the iphone version you'll get the ipad version free. The article does nothing to state that isn't the case.

This is just sloppy. All they had to do was stick "Pro" in the headline.

This is a great way to handle the divide between the iPhone and iPad, at least when it is feasible for a developer to expend the resources to pull it off. By offering three versions (a cheap iPhone-only version, an expensive universal version, and a cheap iPad version), they give consumers all the options they could want. Only have an iPad? Don't pay 14.99, just pay 6.99. I hope that other developers learn from this example.

What I would suggest to Agile, though, and anyone else who takes this approach: it would really be smart if the App Store description clearly stated this. I've been on the fence about buying the iPad version because I thought I would need it. Clearly others here have already taken the plunge and now have buyer's remorse. This problem could have been averted with a simple sentence or two in the description.

I think you goofed big time with the headline. As far as I can tell, if you currently own 1Password Pro, you'll get a free update that supports both iPhone and iPad natively. If you currently own 1Password (not pro) for the iPhone it looks like you do NOT get a free upgrade to the iPad version. At least not that they mention anywhere on their blog.

You may want to actually speak so someone to clarify before you make a statement like this based on, from what I can see, no supporting evidence

So does any one else see something here - buy the cheaper iPhone app and you get the iPad app free?

Headed to iTunes to see if I can get a refund as well. One of the few apps I was willing to pay for again and it turns out I don't have to. I don't understand why they created the iPad version which will only create confusion.

what if you have the desktop AND iphone versions, and are also hoping to get the ipad one? : ))

For the most part, I'm not duplicating apps that I already have on my phone, but this one was an exception.

Right after I posted here, I used the "Report a Problem" feature in iTunes to request a refund. If I don't get it, I won't be broken hearted, I can spare the couple of bucks it cost, I just found it a little annoying.

@Kelly I just feel like TUAW should have included that explanation in the blog post. It seems to make the title more true or holding to its title. And while it would not have saved Jeffrey in this case, it does help to include in the post that the "'1Password Pro app is awaiting approval' says Agiles website"

@Jeffrey try and contact Apple. They might be able to do something about it. The only reason I am not buying apps, like 1Password, for the iPad is simply that reason. I see most of them updating for iPad compatibility.

Sounds to me like I may have gotten shafted on this one. I purchased 1 Password Pro for my iPhone a couple of days ago, and as of right now (I checked for updates) it is still being listed as an iPhone only app in iTunes. However, only moments before reading this article, I also purchased 1 Password for the iPad. So it looks like I paid twice and I doubt there is anything I can do about it.
